Up, and Downs i'm Wall Street.

An old gentleman whom New York Ledger writer met recently, in four years paid one firm in Wall street the sum of $50, 1000 in commissions. He was wealthy man when he went into the street, with a laudable but unwarrantable desire to in- crease his patrimony by speculating in stocks. Now, so heavy have been hls losses that he would be satisfied if he pos sessed the sum he has paid out in com missions. As it is, he will cheerfully &C., cept clerkship in the same firm. If he had been contented with handsome sui fciency for the day, amounting really to a supera bundance, he would now be in af11uence instead of comparative destitu- tion. On the other hand, young clerk who, few years ago, commenced to spec ulate in the street with 500, the savings of years abstinence from smoking, is worth in real estate over S1, ,00o, 900, and several more in securities. In Wall street speculation what is game for one man is ruin for another

Teeth Starved to Decay.

Teeth are just as easily starved as the stomach, said lecturer the other night. The fact is that you and your fathers have from generation to generation been indus triously starving your teeth. In one way it IS blessing to have been born of poor parents. What food the poor give thelr children is of variety that goes to make strong bones and teeth. It is the outside of all the grains of all cereal food that contains the carbonate and phosphate of lime and traces of other earthly salts which nourish the bony tissues and build the frame up If we do not furnish to the teeth of the young that pabulum they re- quire they can not possibly be built up. It is the outside of corn, oats, wheat, bar ley and the like, or the bran, so called, that we sift away and iced to the swine, that the teeth actually require for their proper nourishment The wisdom of man has proven his folly, shown in every suc- ceeding generation of teeth, which become more and more fragile and weak.

COLLECTING OLD SHOES.
a Peculiar Business Which Seems to Pay
 Handsome Profits.

fecuilar Business Which seems eo ray Handsome Profits.
 ''Never mind wrapping them up; I'll leave the old shoes and wear the new" said customer in a Hanover street shoe store, as he pulled out his pocket-book to pay for his purchase.
 What becomes of all the old, cast-of boots, shoes and rubbers left in your storep inquired Boston Herald repor ter as hs tried on a new pair of number lives. "We sell most of them," returned the proprietor. "There is quite a business done in worn-out shoes No less than three or four men come around every week to get what I've got. get from five cen ts up to fifty cents for old boots and shoes. There are some, however, that they won't buy at all, they are so badly worn. Most Of my customers get all the wear out of shos before they throw it away, but some pretty good castaways are to be picked up in the big stores uptown. Once on time some good ones were left here, but nowadays shoes and boots are worn as long as a button or shoe-string will stick to them People are getting poorer or more economical"
 ''What is done with the old shoesw
 'They are patched and fixed up as well as can be done, and sold to poor people at a low price. The business Is so large in this city that large number of these shoes saved from the ash barrel IS sent to New York to be sold. It is good thing for the poor, for some times they can buy better wearing shoe from one of these collectors than in a store when brand new"
 "How about old rubbers and rubber bootsl"
 Those are in great demand and are purchased, even if there is more hole than rubber. Every thing in the rubber line is bought at the rate of three cents pound by the collectors, who sell it for little more to manufacturers, who, 1 un- derstand, melt the rubber down and work it over again"
 "Is there any money in this old shoe collecting business!"

 Blue grass has the advantage of not running out as long as it receives a top dressing of manure annually. It does best on limestone soils, but is grown in nearly all sections. Orchard grass is variety that gives early pas turage, and can be grown where many other grasses will not flourish. Louis Republican.
 At the meeting of the Kansas Hor. ticultural Society, as reported in the Rural World, Prof. Lantz stated that he found that hawks and blackbirds richly earned the little corn and the few chickens they consumed, by their consumption of mice, rabbits and En- glish sparrows by the hawks, and many insects on the part of the blackbirds.
 There is great danger in wearing damp clothes, because when liquil passes into a state of vapor there is great absorption of heat. In the ani- nal economy heat is generated in the system and given out by the body. If the clothes are damp, this heat is distracted faster than a new supply is formed by the process of respira- ton and the result is what is termed a cold.-Troy Tunes.
 The way to begin bookkeeping is to begin small. If one procures a single colony, in a modern, movable comb hive, and by the aid of one of the standard works cares for that col. ony and its. increase during the sea- sor, he will have knowledge of bee keeping that will enable him to man. age many hives, and which will en- able him, if he should so elect, to keep bees for profit.

POTATO CULTIVATION.
Work Necessary to Obtain a Profitable
 Crop of Tubers.

Work Necessary to Obtain a Profitable
 Crop of Tubers.
 To considerable extent the yield of the potato crop depends upon the cul- tIvation. Good seed, good sol and thorough preparation are also neces- sary, yet we may give all these, and If we let the crop take care of itself. the result to a considerable extent, will be a failure. While each are in measure necessary. yet, at the same time, they are dependent upon each other in securing the largest yield. Having the soil thoroughly prepared before planting is an important aid toward making the cultivation easier. It also enables us to commence earlier than we otherwise could.
 Clean cultivation is very essential. We can not secure the best growth of potatoes and at the same time allow a good growth of weeds and grass. I find it much easier to destroy the weeds when small. Not only can the work be done much easier, but the crop will be able to derive a larger amount of benefit. Taking an average season, I prefer to keep the soil reasonably level. If the season is wet more milling can be used to good advantage, be- cause it is necessary to secure good drainage.
 How often and how long the crop should be cultivated depends largely upon condition. No rule can be given that will hit all seasons, or be ap- plicable to all conditions of the soil. It is essential that the soil should be kept loose and mellow and the weeds be destroyed as thorough ly as possible. The nearer these conditions are observed, pro- vided, of course, that during the dry season the soil is not disturbed too deep, the better will be the yield both in quality and quantity. If one good narrowing and three good cultiyations with the cultivator will secure these conditions, that is all that will be nec- essary. Iusually consider it necessary 10 hoe over the rows, as, unless the soil is very clean, it is somewhat diff cult to kill out the weeds between the hills in any other way. Usually har- rowing once, hoeing twice after the first two cultivations and then giving a thorough cultivation to finish up this, will be all that is necessary un- less the soil is very foul with weeds. Give the most of the cultivation during the early stages of growth, -Cor. FGrnl, Field alld StoeknlGn,

The Three Es,e~l... ct Conversation.

There are three essentials 10 all profit able discussion, says the Sunday School Times. The first is, to have point; the second is, to see the point; the third is, to stick to the point. Many discus sions begin and end without either party being conscious of having an objective point. Some parties to discussion see q point. or see many points, while neither party, or only one of the parties, sees the point. And where any or all of the parties have point, and even where they see the point, they rarely show themselves capable of sticking to the point There would be less unprofitable discussion if everyone would first convince himself that he had point to discuss. We can not expect another to stick to our point unless we can make him see that we have a point; and we can not expect to make hIm see that we have point, unless we can stick to the point ourselves

There is no question about it-blood will tell-especjally if it be an impure blood. Blotches, eruptions, pimples and boils, are allsymptoms of an impure blood, due to the improper action of the liver. When this important organ fails to properly perform it's function of purifying and cleansing the blood, impurities are carried to all parts of the system, and the symptoms above re- ferred to are merely evidences of the struggle of Nature to throw off the poison- ous germs. Unless her warning be needed in time, serious results are certain to fol- low, eliminating in liver or kidney disor- ders, or even in consumption.

NEW YEAR FESTIVITIES,
How the Natal Day Was Celebrated la
 Flagstaff.

| No pleasanter greeting ever come
 from human lips than the words, A
 happy New Year" The day comes around like an old friend every twelve
 months, marking an epoch in oul lives and the events which surround them. Of all lime .honored customs iithe observance of the natal day of a new year is the most ancient, for it is older than Christianity, and it will last until time shall cease to be meas ured.
 The day was celebrated in Flagstaff with the usual social courtesies, and nature did her very best to make it a bright and enjoyable festival. Among the gentlemen who went around making calls were; Col. l. w. Eddy, D. NJ. Riordan. T. A. Riordan, NJ, ]. Riordan, Gen. Mc- Donell, J. $. Morrls, E. w. Jackson, J. Donovan, P. ]. Brannen, W. C..

 The day was so warm and pleasant that most of the gentlemen went on foot. The mill party, which included the Mineral Belt officials, travelled in the Aver Lumber Company's carriage, Capt. B. E. Builwlndle accompany ing them in his new patent vermillion dog cart. The only accident which occurred was the upsetting of this bril- liantly-coIored venicle on Railroad avenue, spllling some of his friends who were occupants of the jauntlng car, but fortunately, the only damage done WIS to ornament thelr holiday garments with plentiful supply Of dust.
 The following ladies received call. CTS: Mrs. P. ]. Brannen, assisted by Mss Maggie Brannen, and Miss Kate Brannen, Mrs. T. S. Norris, Mrs. D. Rabbit, Mrs. A. A. Dutton, Mrs. C. A. Greenlaw, Mrs. W.

Thomas. and Misses Marshall. Beckwiih and Fulton.
 In the evening pleasant party and sociaOle dance was given by Mrs. D. M. Riordan II the family residence al Milltuwn. There was large number ot Flagstaff people present. Mr5. Riordan received her guests in her usual charming and cordial manner, and made the evening so enjoyable that all went hotne feeling that the good wishes of the day-"a happy new year"-had begun with pleas ant fulhliacnt.
